Privacy
We’re Golden is a private family tool, not a product. It is used by one household and is not offered to the public. This page describes everything it stores.
What is stored
- Check-in times. The date and time of each twice-daily check-in, and whether one was missed.
- Four phone numbers. One elderly father and his three adult children, entered once by the operator when the system was set up.
- Two names per contact. A first name only, used to say who has been asked to make a phone call.
- A notification token for the father’s phone, so reminders can reach it, and the time it was last heard from.
What is not stored
No location or GPS data. No health or medical information. No message content beyond the fixed wording described on the main page. No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no tracking pixels, and no third-party analytics of any kind. There are no cookies.
How long it is kept
Check-in records are deleted automatically after eight days. The family status page shows the last seven; the eighth day is slack. Nothing is archived, and there is no long-term history.
Phone numbers persist for as long as the system is in use, because they are its configuration. They are removed when it is switched off.
Who it is shared with
Nobody. Data is never sold, rented, or shared for marketing, and there is no marketing. It is handled by three service providers purely to make the system work: Twilio delivers the text messages, Upstash stores the check-in records, and Vercel runs the code. Each holds only what its job requires.
The family status page
Family members can view recent check-ins on a private web page. It is reachable only through a long random link, is excluded from search engines, and has no login because it holds nothing beyond check-in times. Anyone with the link can view it, which is why the link is shared only with the three family members.
Stopping messages
Any recipient can reply STOP to opt out of messages entirely, or PAUSE to suspend check-ins temporarily. Removal of a phone number from the system altogether can be requested from the operator.
